Wireless broadband service launched by East Midlands Trains
East Midlands Trains (EMT) passengers now have the opportunity to access wireless broadband during their journeys.

The transport company has launched its new onboard passenger Wi-Fi service in collaboration with Nomad Digital and is currently available on all six of its seven-car Meridian units.

Over the coming months, the high-speed broadband facility will be rolled out to include all EMT Meridians and MKIII HSTs travelling on the London-Sheffield and London-Nottingham routes.

First-class customers will not need to pay to access the service, but usage for standard passengers is subject to a "small charge" taken via credit or debit card.

Sales manager for EMT Jayne Moyses said: "We're constantly looking at how we can further improve our service and we know the launch of onboard internet access will make a real difference for our passengers."

In February 2010, Nomad revealed that more than 90,000 people a month take advantage of the fast wireless broadband service on the West Coast Main Line.
